​ Owen Coutts has been working on bikes for the majority of his life, following Downhill and Enduro racing around the world as a core member of a team, using his mechanical prowess to keep the pros rolling through thick and thin. Since joining us at GMBN, we’ve kept him busy on the Tech channel with deeper into the latest tech and mechanical videos, but it’s time to see what he’s got behind bars! Despite his good foundation, Owen is a bit unsure when it comes to steeper and more difficult trails. Can Rich, coach Owen up to speed and down a black trail at Bikepark Wales in just a day? Let’s find out.
